Otovasca View
Chișinău's most panoramic viewpoint · sunset terrace with telescope and 360° city views
Free observation terrace with a public telescope and a 360° view of the capital — ideal for sunset and urban photography
Otovasca View is an open-air observation deck perched on a hillside in the northern part of Chișinău, offering sweeping 360° panoramas of the capital. Perfect for sunset watching, it features wooden benches, a free telescope for magnified cityscapes, and a quiet, relaxed vibe. Adjacent to the terrace are a children's playground and an outdoor gym, making it a popular gathering spot for couples, photographers, and families. Open 24/7 and free of charge, it's especially loved in the evenings when the city lights begin to twinkle below.

“Place worth visiting especially during sunset . The entire city can be seen through the telescope. Nearby there is also open gym and playarea for kids. Also a couple of cafeteria nearby from where you can grab a cup of coffee and sit and enjoy the city view . And the evening cool breeze especially during the summer is just relaxing . The view is simply soothing and refreshin…”
